Galaxy Note 3 KitKat rollout starts, Poland gets it first

If you are the owner of a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 phablet, a new update is beginning to roll out for the Android operating system. The update brings the Note 3 to Android KitKat. The rollout is not happening everywhere at once though.

The first country to get the Android KitKat update for the Galaxy Note 3 is Poland. The update is available for the Polish owners via the Samsung Kies update software. The KitKat update also has another caveat in Poland, it’s only for the Snapdragon 800 powered version.

Other than the US and apparently Poland, the international version of the phone uses Samsung's Exynos processor. Since the Polish version of the Note 3 is virtually identical to the one here in the US, perhaps the US will be the next location to get the update.
